But, does it chime in tune?

450 MIPS on a z/990.
585 MIPS on a z/9 EC.

Now, you know!
But, what does it mean?

If you had a workload to compare, it might tell you something.
Otherwise, the 'M' still stands for 'Meaningless'.

You need to look at more than just MIPS to understand what the environment does.
